Sometimes Harsh is Nice

Nice, France, that is. I still have a pile of images that deserve attention from our trip through France this past summer. This shot happened to catch my eye as I was looking for photo the other day and figured I would throw it up here.

This photo was taken in one of the street markets in beautiful Nice. My wife and I would go to that city again in a heartbeat. What I like about this one is both the graphic element created by the hard shadows of midday light (cast from an awning above), and the contrast of the payphone (with ubiquitous graffiti) against the aging building facade.
